Part Three of three in the first “Far Rangers” novel: THE SPEAR OF DESTINY. The first in a new steampunk, alternate history, action-adventure series.

The North American continent is made up of several rival nations, and a Cold War is building between them. The Nazis rose to power a decade earlier. People travel by airship and powerful organizations calculate with Babbage’s Difference Engine. The Nazis have hatched a plot to raise a legion of undead soldiers.

Enter Sean Fox Rucker and Jesus D’Anconia Lago, two Great War veterans and freelance pilots who are pulled into the quest. They are joined by a brash Greek merchant, a brilliant Jewish cowboy, and the woman who once broke Rucker’s heart. This ragtag band of reluctant, bickering, swashbuckling heroes soon is locked in a globe-spanning race against Nazi occultists, clockwork assassins, and a darkly charismatic commando. In a world where science and the supernatural co-exist, and the monsters of legend are as real necromancers who summon them from dark realms, our heroes alone stand before the rising darkness. But all their efforts may not be enough.

The stakes? Who will be first to secure an ancient holy relic that will lead to either the salvation or the downfall of mankind?

Garrison recaptures the unapologetic adventure, wonder and excitement of the classic pulp fiction of the 1930s and 1940s, blending elements of Steampunk with deeply-researched historical fiction and a good dose of humor. The novel also explores major philosophical and moral issues relevant to our contemporary world: the trade-off between security and liberty, the morality of pre-emptive war, and what fundamentally separates good from evil.

I'm a UK writer published with the Wild Rose Press in the U.S., and a member of the Romance Novelists' Association. I love crafting romantic tales of Science Fiction and Fantasy, set on far away planets and alternate worlds. I hope you enjoy reading the stories of my brave heroines and heroes as much as I enjoy writing them.

" Dialogue tends to be to the point and believable. Events become more and more unpredictable as the story moves forward. The backdrop is a universe – a beautifully envisioned universe". (Click lasr 'Best Book' Logo for full review)

DANCING WITH FATE - 1stChapter Preview

5 Star Review for DANCING WITH FATE

Greek mythology can be a bit hard to read. I do not know much about it, so it can be hard to follow. However, Ms. Lyn did such a fantastic job of describing each character that I never knew I could enjoy Greek myths quite so much. I wholeheartedly recommend this book, filled with vivid landscapes, Greek myths, and some of the strongest characters I have read in a while. (Click LASR Logo for full review)

Having reclaimed my rights back for this story I am republising it with some minor changes and a brand new cover .

DANCING WITH FATEreads like a Blackmore's Night song, even though it's a love story for a Greek muse. And, I'm a big fan of Blackmore's Night. If you're into Arthurian legend, you'll love this paranormal novella.Skhye MoncriefAuthor of The Time Guardian Series
